I can assure you I've never searched up Asian dating sites. Russian, maybe.

 

I don't know whether it's actually based on your own search history. I just wanted to make you momentarily question your life choices.

Usually room temp...but have you ever tried spreading cold PB?

 

 

Again, family site here.

Look, I'd be a liar to say I'm not desperate, but I'm not THAT desperate!

[Aggies7]

I wish we could get the runner in from third a bit more often than we do.

It is, to a degree.

Nice triple by Dozier there, but we really could have used a hit from Granite or Mauer there to make it 4-1. Granite needs to be hitting in the #9 spot if he's only going to hit groundballs.

[Craig Arko]

J. D. Martinez traded from Tigers to D-backs.

I don't know, his first ever MLB AB had people ready to trade Rosario to make room for him

Which is funny because I remember Rosario's first MLB at-bat.

"Limestone trim" sounds better than "small, gold drop shadow," so yeah. What he said.

 

My son is constantly on uni-watch or sending me something from the ESPN column, so I have to be precise. Technically it's "Kasota Gold," chosen to represent the limestone. 

[Aggies7]

First at bat, first ML pitch ever ...

[Aggies7]

Ok I've seen enough of Bartolo.

[70charger]

Figures he swung at it, though.

[Squirrel]

Well, crap.

[70charger]

Okay, anyone else getting sick of hearing about how our division rivals are loading up their farm systems?

A standing O? Yikes the bar was even lower than I thought.

[John Kelsey]

So that gets you a standing O now, huh?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

He did ok, but standing ovation?

[Aggies7]

I don't know if it's because everyone expected a clobbering or because our entire staff has been pretty bad all year, but yeah.

Ok is generous, that's a pretty bad start. 

[USAFChief]

 

I need to get a Colon jersey.

Should be plenty to go around.

 

ba-dum-tschh...

I read somewhere that that was his plan for his first ML bat ... to swing at the first pitch.

Yeah and I recall everyone discussing this over the past weekend. Not sure what information Falvey and the Pickler are feeding Molitor.

[Craig Arko]

An ovation for the fourth tenor.

[Aggies7]

And every subsequent one

[jud6312]

Agreed with everyone on the standing O. He did much better than I expected, but nothing I'd get out of my seat for.
